SHAHNAZ ANSAR R vs STATE OF U.P.. — C.A. No. 7400/2010

Case Summary: Shahnaz Ansar R v. State of U.P. (C.A. No. 7400/2010) The Supreme Court allowed the appellants' appeal against the High Court's March 4, 2009 judgment. The appellants had purchased surplus land declared under the Urban Land Ceiling Act, 1976, which was repealed in 1999. The Court found the High Court failed to decide the critical issue of whether the State Government had taken actual physical possession of the land when the 1999 Repeal Act came into force. The Court remanded the matter to the High Court's Division Bench to determine this fact, noting that if possession was not taken, the ceiling proceedings would abate. No costs awarded.
